  • Sonny Bill injured?

    Was at the Fan Day today - without exaggerating there would have been at least 2,000 people there. Had a chat with Brain and Horry, my son got a photo with the trophies. Huge line-up for autographs and unfortunately the players had to go with hundreds and hundreds of people still lined up - anyways Sonny Bill turns up with a very noticeable limp and a brace on his right knee.

    No mention was made of it when Mini and Robbo were interviewed. Has anyone heard anything?
    Loved by few, hated by many, respected by all.

      Didn't look to bad after the game last night. I don't think it's that bad but hopefully he's injury free by Round 1.

        he has knee tendonitis which is a constant problem that needs to be managed hence the strapping just below the knee when he plays, however the way they were icing the knee last night it looked to be treatment for a medial sprain which would explain the brace this morning.

        I guess it just depends on how serious the sprain is, if they were really concerned about the problem there is no way he would have been at the fan day today he would be having scans and starting treatment.

              I think someone is pulling your leg Horry, no way a knee brace for a cork, bone bruising maybe but my bet is on a slight medial sprain

                somewhat disappointed about the fan day today. as mentioned above, players were only there for 1.5 hours. Heaps of people were unable to get autographs, saw a lot of young kids crying....Know the team has to do its recovery sessions...but even an extra 1/2 an hour would've been suffice. Massive shout out to the blokes who continued to autograph and pose for photos past the scheduled time that the team was to leave...this included sammy moa, jenko, pearce, mortimer, tupou, FPN and JWH of course. These guys were continued to mingle with fans around 25 minutes, and mortimer in particular was really appreciative of everyone waiting for 2+ hours in the heat.

                  This is what happened at last years members day as well.... Some players were kind enough to hang around but it ended up being a massive failure coz the players had to rush back. Which I appreciate but the club needs to organize it a lot better.

                  I remain in 2010, they had the members day at the SCG and let the players just walk around and mix with the crowd and it was a lot better, as we could go to different players and have a chat and not be rushed off or treated like cattle basically.

                  This is why I didnt come to the fan day this time and wont come to the members day again this year if its at the bowling club again

                      Ridiculous!
                      Totally BAD!

                      What's it gonna take to get it right?
                      New management probably.

                      If you were disappointed, then others would've been disappointed.

                      Disappointed fans, who'd lined up for hours in the heat?
                      Charming.
                      No way to run a football club.
                      Congrats to the players who continued to mingle.

                      They can't blame the NRL for this one!

                          Agreed. Sack everyone from Nick Politis to the ball boys and start all over again.
